"But you are the ones chosen by God, chosen for a high calling of priestly work, chosen to be a holy people, God's instruments to do His work and speak out for Him, to tell others of the night and day difference He has made for you-from nothing to something, from rejected to accepted." 1 Peter 2:9-10

Prince Charming

Every little girl dreams about their prince charming at some point in her life. But have you ever thought about Jesus being your prince charming. He loves you more than anyone or anything could ever love you. He's been there for you when no one else has. He's seen you in your deepest pit of your despair, He's been there for you. He's seen every good and bad thing you have done and still loves you, an imperfect person. He thinks your beautiful more beautiful than any guy could ever think. Our focus should be on our true Prince Charming, which is Jesus. The Lord is writing our love- stories. But as of right now our love story should be with Him. It should be our desire to be with Him 24/7. It should be easy for us to to talk to Him. It should be easy for us to love Him. Since He has given us everything we have, don't we owe it to Him to obey what He tells us to do and how to live?
Just a little thought. :)

You ask... He answers... So obey Him

We all have asked God at some point in our lives to use us. And we tell Him he has full control if our life. And then we ask Him to tell us how tell people about His great live and mercy. So, when you Him that and He responds~ respond back and obey what He has told you to do. Most of the time we hear God, but if it's something we don't want to do we ignore it and move on, but eventually it will come and it will keep coming back until we respond to it. So, when God tells you to do something- DO what He told you to do. What if isn't something you want to do, do it anyway. He has the big picture of your life, you don't so respond to what He tells you to do and not your flesh. He has the ultimate plan and the bug picture and believe me its a good one. Respond to Him with a quick and oviduct heart. And listen to what He tells you. :)

Just Something to Think About...

What if we talked about God as much as we talked about boys or what if we talked about the Bible more than we did Facebook. I mean think about if we talked about the Lord more than we did earthly things...where would we be in our relationship with Christ? And if we spent more time reading the Bible than we were on Facebook or watched tv or just were on the computer killing time...how about if we killed time reading the Bible or listening to worship music. And here is another thing the things you watch hear and see affect your walk with the Lord. As weird as it may sound those things that you watch hear and see can persuade you very easily without you even know when your being persuaded. So if your listening to something that is secular music and is cussing every other 5 seconds you should turn it off. Your thinking well what if it only cussed once...TURN IT OFF! Your the one that makes the choice to turn it off or not. It's your choice and that one choice can lead you down the right path that God has destined you to go on or you can choose the path that is going to be filled with hardship and difficulties and the path that He has not called you to go down. He knows which one you are going to pick...but He's giving you the choice and at that moment you have to decided which path you are going to go down...
Just something to think about.
XOXO,

Revival in our school

Are you ok with the way your school is? Or are you not ok with it, but just don't do anything about it? If you want to see revival in your school, don't just sit around and do nothing about  the way your school is now. If God has called you to change the way your school is, do it. Don't wait. Do it NOW!  And if you have an idea about how to change it, and if you are told no about the idea, keep trying, don't give up on it. You we called to change things, called to change a generation, called to tell people about the Lord, the one true God. If you don't do what He's called you to do, He's not gonna wait around on you, He'll give to another person who will do it and is not afraid. Not afraid about what people think cause you stand up for your God. Stand up for you what you believe in. God has a great and radical plan for your life and is going to use you, you just have to be ready to say yes to what He's calling you to do.

Our Generation- Dutch Sheets, RAMP 2011

Ok so that didnt work soo well. Here it is again. (:
You are a generation called to awakening, revival and reformation. You are a reforming generation. You are a hinge generation. History will swing...turn because of you. You are a transition generation. You'll move America and the earth from the old into the new. You are change agents. No evil is safe. Status quo is not safe when you are around. You wonder why you are so strange...so different. When others want to party, you want to pray. When they're laughing, you're weeping...when they dance, you mourn. You will never be satisfied in the box marked normal. You will never fit in the typical, societal niche because you are a reformer. There is something in your dna that cannot accept status quo, business as usual, things as they are. Deep in your heart, you know you are called to change things...to rock the boat. You will never leave well enough alone. You want to be a difference maker. You are not the internet generation. You are the intercessory generation. You are pioneers, forerunners, pathfinders, trailblazers. You love God but are turned off by religion. You crave His presence but loathe the average church service. You are passionate about Him. You have God-cravings. When you taste Him, it only makes you hungry for more. You don't just sing, you worship. Heaven loves it. Demons hate it. You don't just pray, you cry out. You offend the religious but you move God. You live in His presence. You walk with God. In Him you live and move and have your very being. You refuse to let the world around you shape and define you. You can't be bought...money will be your servant, not your master. Careers will serve you but not define you. You don't live for wealth, fame or pleasure. You would never lower your goal to simply being rich or famous. You're a world changer. You live for the eternal, not the temporal. You're a giver, not a taker. You won't compromise. You hate sin. You are dead to it and it is dead to you. When you dream, it is about the impossible. You will raise the dead. You will heal the sick. You will set free the oppressed...lead them to peace and wholeness. You will heal the broken-hearted. You will bring good news to the poor and when you see pain, you know you're called to heal it. Christ's mission statement is your mission statement. You deliver the bound, set the captive free. You will laugh at demons and then cast them out. Your very presence terrifies them...you fear nothing...no evil, because you know He is with you.When you face adversity, you don't fear because you measure it against your God. You know that you always triumph in Him. You know that greater is He that's in you than he that's in the world. You know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. You know that you are more than a conqueror through Him who loves you. You know that nothing can separate you from His love. You are dangerous because your life is not your own. Losing your life doesn't scare you, wasting it does. Bullets or martyrdom don't scare you. Mediocrity scares you. Like David, you run to kill giants. You grab lions by the beard and break the necks of bears. You crave His presence...worship with abandonment...run through troops and leap over walls. You are worshiping warriors...a generation after God's heart. Like Abraham, you're God's friend. You are covenant keepers. Like Joshua, you're a leader, and you and your house will serve the Lord. Like Caleb, you are warriors. Like Daniel, you walk in wisdom and revelation. You pray! You refuse to compromise! You are greater...10 times greater than the world! Like Joseph, you're dreamers. You're pure. You're royalty. You save nations. Like Esther, you were born for such a time as this. Like Paul, you count not your life dear to yourself, for you to live is Christ and to die is gain. You want to know Him, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings. You're going to run a good race, fight a good fight, press toward the mark, and apprehend that which you've been apprehended for. Like John the Beloved, you're lovers of God. Like Mary, you are the alabaster box generation. Like Lincoln and Wilberforce, you're going to deal with injustice. You are going to take out abortion. You're going to end sex trade. You're going to confront racism. Like Elijah, you're going to cast down Jezebel. you're going to break the back of idolatry in this nation. You're going to deliver from homosexuality. You're a royal priesthood...a holy nation. You're an awakening generation. You are alive. You have been awakened to destiny. You are the generation that He's been looking for. You are called! You are a voice! You carry a sound that cannot be silenced! You are an army and you are now commissioned! You are free to be everything He's destined you to be...a glorious church without spot or wrinkle. You will never turn back. You are forever ruined. You will always burn. You will fight and you will win! You are a generation that will awaken the earth!"
XOXO,
Salem
